Former punter Chris Kluwe spoke out against a MAGA reference on a city plaque.
Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe was taken down by police and hauled out of a city council meeting after speaking out against President Donald Trump and his MAGA movement and protesting in the chamber.
Kluwe, who spent eight seasons in the NFL, spoke during public comments against plans to include a MAGA reference in the design of a library plaque in the city, where he has lived for 15 years.
He told the council what MAGA has stood for since Trump returned to office last month:
“MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence. MAGA stands for resegregation and racism. MAGA stands for censorship and book bans. MAGA stands for firing air traffic controllers while planes are crashing. MAGA stands for firing the people overseeing our nuclear arsenal. MAGA stands for firing military veterans and those serving them at the VA, including canceling research on veteran suicide. MAGA stands for cutting funds to education, including for disabled children.”
“MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy and most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement,” said Kluwe, as cheers erupted from the audience. “You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is.”
